With Special Track: Commercializing Context

Submission deadlines for full papers, posters, videos, and demonstration abstracts: May 8, 2011

Submission deadlines for workshop proposals: March 20, 2011

Fourteen years after the first Context conference in 1997 ? and 60 years after Prior laid the foundation for the field ?, the Seventh International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling and Using Context (CONTEXT'11) sets out to extend foundational research on context and to evaluate the status and consequences of context research, as well as to address new questions for the field.

CONTEXT'11 will provide a forum for presenting and discussing high-quality research and applications on context. The conference will include paper, poster, and video presentations, system demonstrations, workshops, and a doctoral consortium. The conference invites researchers and practitioners to share insights and cutting-edge results from the wide range of disciplines concerned with context, including: the Cognitive Sciences (Linguistics, Psychology, Philosophy, Computer Science, Neuroscience), the Social Sciences and Organizational Sciences, and all application areas, including Medicine and Law.

The motto of the CONTEXT'11 special track "Commercialising Context" was chosen to reflect both the fact that context research has found numerous successful applications in recent years and the fact that context itself has become a product that can be sold. Context-aware services can support their users unobtrusively and offer promising revenues. However, when context is no longer something private but processed and shared through the web, profound questions are raised about privacy and the general consequences of the technology.

Yet, the new context-aware services can also be a scientific tool for context-research itself. Context-aware services offer new ways for studying social context and its interaction with other types of context on a sociologically significant scale. For linguistic studies, context-aware mobile phones and chat programs, for instance, can be a tool to automatically obtain context-annotated dialogues, with which the influence of context on meaning can be empirically assessed.

Areas of interest include but are not limited to perspectives on context from: Analogy and Case-Based Reasoning Knowledge Engineering and Ontologies

Autonomous Agents and Agent-based Systems Language Understanding and Production

Cognitive Modeling Learning

Concepts and Categorization Linguistics

Context-Aware Services and Systems Memory, Representation and Access

Context-Recognition Multiagent Systems and Interagent Communication

Distributed Information Systems Neuroscience

Formal Semantics and Pragmatics Formal Ontology of Context Domains

Formal Theories of Context Organizational Theory and Design

Heterogeneous Information Integration Perception

Human Decision-Making Pervasive Computing

? and Decision Support Systems Philosophical Foundations of Context

Human-Centered Computing Problem Solving and Planning

Human-Computer Interaction Psychological experiments

Information Management Reasoning

Intelligent Tutoring Systems Relevance Computation and Relevance Theories

Intelligent User Interfaces Sensor Networks and Sensing Systems

Intelligent/Semantic Web Systems Situated and Distributed Cognition

Knowledge Representation Ubiquitous Computing

CONFERENCE EVENTS

CONTEXT'11 will include paper presentation sessions, a poster and demonstration session, two days of workshops, and a doctoral consortium as well as keynote talks and a panel discussion. Workshops and the doctoral consortium will circulate separate calls for papers and participation, which will also be available at the conference web site.

ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA AND SUBMISSION CATEGORIES

CONTEXT welcomes original, high-quality research contributions that advance the state of the art in their field. Because CONTEXT'11 will be an interdisciplinary forum, all submissions will be evaluated not only for their technical merit but also for their accessibility to an interdisciplinary audience. Works that transcend disciplinary boundaries are especially encouraged.

Submissions may be for full papers (14 pages in Springer LNCS format), videos with a video abstract, or demonstration abstracts. Full papers will be accepted either for oral presentation or for presentation at a poster session. All accepted full paper submissions will be published in the proceedings which appear as a volume of Springer Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence. Accepted posters and demonstrations will be presented at the poster session. Videos will be presented as part of the conference program. The associated abstracts will be published in a brochure distributed to attendees.

See detailed author instructions and format templates on the conference Web Site.

For a paper to appear in the proceedings, at least one author must register for the conference by the deadline for camera-ready copy.

SUBMISSION PROCEDURES

Papers must be submitted electronically as PDF files via the submission webpage. Submissions cannot exceed 14 pages in the Springer LNAI format. Detailed formatting and submissions instructions, as well as LaTeX and Word templates, can be accessed through the detailed author instructions page: http://context-11.teco.edu/authors.html

DEMONSTRATION/VIDEO SUBMISSIONS

Authors are encouraged to submit a video illustrating their research (experiment procedure, system prototype, etc.) and all accepted authors will have the option of presenting a system demonstration at the poster session. Authors wishing to present a demonstration/video without an accompanying paper must submit a demonstration/video abstract. Demonstration/video abstracts should describe cutting-edge research not described in paper submissions. Demonstration abstracts should summarize the system's behavior and significance, and should include at least one screen shot. If desired, they may also include the URL of an informal video on the web. Demonstration/video abstracts should be at most 2 pages long.

See detailed author instructions at http://context-11.teco.edu/authors.html

MULTIPLE SUBMISSIONS POLICY

CONTEXT'11 will not accept any paper which, at the time of submission, is under review for or has already been published or accepted for publication in a journal or another conference.
